From June 1, Singapore Airlines' customers will be able to enjoy seamless travel between Singapore and three cities in the United States, thanks to a new codeshare agreement between Singapore Airlines and US Airways.

With this new collaboration, Singapore Airlines' customers travelling to Las Vegas and Phoenix can do so conveniently, by connecting via Los Angeles or San Francisco, Singapore Airlines' West Coast gateways, on US Airways services.

Customers heading to Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina, can catch a connecting US Airways flight from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Conversely, US Airways' customers travelling to Singapore will be able to connect on Singapore Airlines services from Los Angeles and San Francisco.

From the Singapore hub, US Airways' customers can also easily connect onto codeshare flights operated by Singapore Airlines to popular destinations in the Asia Pacific (Perth, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali, Jakarta and Banda Seri Begawan). US Airways will also codeshare on Singapore Airlines services to European gateways of Amsterdam, Zurich and Manchester.

"This partnership will bring convenience and benefits to customers of both Star Alliance airlines, providing them with a link between Singapore and more US cities. This is a testament to the growing relationship between Singapore Airlines and US Airways, our Star Alliance partner," said Mr. Huang Cheng Eng, Singapore Airlines' Executive Vice President, Marketing and the Regions.

"We're delighted to offer Singapore Airlines' customers access to our hub cities of Las Vegas and Phoenix, with easy connections to 97 destinations throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico through US Airways' extensive route network," said Andrew Nocella, US Airways' Senior Vice President, Schedule Planning and Alliances.

Customers can purchase tickets for the services from mid May for travel from June 1 onwards. Members of Singapore Airlines' award-winning frequent flyer programme, KrisFlyer will be able to accrue miles when they fly on the codeshare flights or on the US Airways network. Likewise, miles will also be credited to US Airways customers' Dividend Miles programme when flying on Singapore Airlines flights (Customers should check fare details as not every fare type may be eligible for frequent flyer mileage accrual).
